john boehner liked that. i guess paul ryan liked that. i'm not sure what harry reid thought about that, but the rules committee thought it was ok. but the fact of the matter is that bill was written while the rules committee was in session. there are 13 of us on rules committee. we love the enormous power that we got. but i don't believe any of us ever suspected that the rules committee was going to supersede all of the committees in the house of representatives. there's been no committee action on any of this. in addition, i want to make the point again in spite of what we tried to do, we said nobody's talked about this. there's been no discussion on this. let's have an open rule. let's let not just the people on our side but the people on the republican side who had no input here as well, let's open it up and have a real debate and see what's going on here. what is going on here? what's going on here, as my colleague points out, is a circus of dubious constitutional validity, frankly. some people may say it's ok what they're doing. othe

plan, this is a gamble for house speaker john boehner. there are members of the republican caucus in the house who don't want to raise the debt ceiling at all and don't even think a three-month extension of the debt ceiling as a ploy to put the political pressure on the senate democrats to pass a budget, they may not even vote for this. so he has his work cut out for him to make sure that his caucus or at least the vast majority of it is on board for this. and for the senate democrats, if this three-month extension passes, it does move the spotlight, it does put the heat on them and they haven't passed a budget in years, and you know, it goes to the senate and it goes to senate majority leader harry reid and we'll see what they do. but first, john boehner has to get his folks on board in the house. >> andy, carrie, good to see both of you. thanks. >> thank you. >>> boy, it was a stunning way to cap off the inaugural festivities. the president and first lady sharing a dance at the inaugural ball of course, to "let's stay together" performe

will you get democratic votes on this when boehner brings this up? >> it will depend on what it looks like. this is really gimmicky, gimmicky garbage at the end of the day. the responsible thing to do is to pass a debt ceiling increase because we have to pay our bills. really leaving this uncertainty hanging over our already fragile recovery is irresponsible. and to suggest that we're not going to pay our bills or tie the debt that we have to pay to anything that the republicans want to extract out of president obama is irresponsible. >> yeah. the republican that i look to right now is john cornyn. what a reversal. i mean, this guy writes an op-ed in the home two newspaper in houston and then turns around and tells the editorial board something totally different. what does that say about their leadership? >> it says they are all over the map. it says they are basically a rudderless ship and it says that they really don't get what is at stake for us economically. president obama clearly does. we've had 34 straight months of job growth. we've begun to
